Pluto-ma Nesia 24

 24. The Cruise of the Coracle

        _24. U Viagia de kapri navi


It was broad day when I awoke and found myself tossing at the south-west end of Treasure Island.
_Id pa es foto di, kron mi gene vigi, e detekti; mi ki a supra e infra per plu unda lo sud-ocide gono de Pluto-ma Nesia.

Crawling together on flat tables of rock or letting themselves drop into the sea with loud reports I beheld huge slimy monsters...
_Tem repti kon alelo epi plu plati petro, alo lase; mu kade ad-in mari ko plu forti soni, mi pa vide plu sti-fobo mega limo zoa.

I have understood since that they were sea lions...
_Po-co mi pa gene info; mu es plu foki.

Right in front of me, not half a mile away, I beheld the HISPANIOLA under sail.
_Mi pa vide navi ISPANIOLA ko plu veli direkti ante se, ne plus tele de semi milia.

She fell right into the wind's eye, was taken dead aback, and stood there awhile helpless, with her sails shivering.
_Id pa gene moti simpli per venti, sto kine, e akti minus moti e minus auxi, tem akti sta, e plu veli laxa kausa nuli venti.

Gradually I got into the way of the thing and guided my coracle among the waves...
_Mi gene uti de kapri navi per gradu, e moti id a mega navi inter plu unda.

I was on the summit of one swell when the schooner came stooping over the next. The bowsprit was over my head... With one hand I caught the jib-boom.
_Mi pa es lo akro de unda mo, kron u veli navi ki ad infra per unda bi. Un horizo dendro es supra kefa de mi. Mi pa gene id per mo manu.

I was left without retreat on the HISPANIOLA.
_Mi pa es ge-lase epi navi ISPANIOLA minus mode de ki versi.

Glosa 1000

 Why 1000 words? _1000 verba qo-te? Language instructors have found that when language learners reach the level of having a 1000 word vocabulary, they are able to have simple conversations in the language. Linguists have also observed that the average daily vocabulary of a speaker, no matter which language they speak, consists of about 1000 words. Therefore 1000 words seem to be the logically sized vocabulary for a constructed international language. _Plu lingua dona-sko-pe pa detekti; kron plu xeno-lingua gene-sko-pe gene u tekno de 1000 numera verba-fa, mu pote dice per simpli mode ko plu plus homi de u-la lingua.

Kausa-co 1000 verba feno es u ge-puta numera verba-fa pro ge-face inter-natio lingua. During the heydays of Glosa, when there was a Glosa Education Organization (GEO) and several books and newsletters were published, I got to know Wendy Ashby personally. In...

Glosa 1000 Words with Explanations

(Last update 2026-06-03) If you cannot find a word in this list, you really do not need another word. For instance, there is no word for "desk" in this list. Oh, no! Is the language deficient? Is there some kind of limbo here? Instead of inventing or adding a new word, just say what the word means. What is a desk? A piece of furniture you write on. Therefore grafo-mo, "write-furniture," is the word for "desk."  Sometimes an entire phrase may be necessary to state what you mean. "Department store" can be expressed as u mega boteka ko poli difere ra . That is just the way it goes with a language with a small vocabulary! After you say it like this once, you can usually say u boteka , and people will know what you mean. You need to get out of the habit of thinking that one meaning (MY meaning, which is better than anyone else's meaning) should have one word. In all languages the meaning of words varies. The first step in learning Glosa 1000 is ge...
